Stop autoplay after clicking on dots in slick.js

Question

So, this is code I use for slider:

$('.autoplay').slick({
    slidesToShow: 3,
    slidesToScroll: 1,
    autoplay: true,
    autoplaySpeed: 2000,
    dots: true
});

And I want that after user clicks on any dot, it will disable autoplay. Then I tried this:

$('.autoplay').on('init', function() {
    $('.slick-dots').click(function() {
        $('.autoplay').slick('autoplay', false);
    });
});

But no help. Here is DEMO from jsFiddle. Is this possible with slick.js?

Answer 1

Try this

$('.autoplay').slick({
    slidesToShow: 3,
    slidesToScroll: 1,
    autoplay: true,
    autoplaySpeed: 1000,
    dots: true
});

$('.slick-dots').on('click', function() {
    $('.autoplay').slick('slickPause');
});

From one of the issues in the github-forum, I saw that you have to attach init event before initializing with slick.

$('.autoplay').on('init', function(slick) {
    $('.slick-dots').on('click',function() {
        $('.autoplay').slick('slickPause');
    });
}).slick({
    slidesToShow: 3,
    slidesToScroll: 1,
    dots: true,
    autoplay: true,
    autoplaySpeed: 2000,
})

You can use

$('.slick').slick('slickPause');

to pause. You can play it again with

$('.slick').slick('slickPlay');
